To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, GUSTAV SOHWARZ- WALD, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Seat-Protector for Water-Closets, which invention is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a top view; Fig. 2, a side view; and Fig. 3, a view of the seat-protector folded p sponding parts in all the figures,

In the drawing, the letter A designates my seat-protector, which is made, as shown, in a large number of sections. These sections are I united by hinge-joints a, or they are fastened to a piece, a, of canvas or other equivalent material, so that the protector can be folded up or unfolded, in the manner shown in the drawing. In the middle of my protector is a hole, 11, and to its lower surface are secured Similar letters of reference indicate correseveral short legs, 0.
